I have State in the E8 losing to MSU. I think they can make some noise as the East isn't that tough.
I wanna play Utah so if we play them and beat them I can make fun of all the Ute fans out here who think their team is so amazing
UNC is completely average, Arkansas is pretty much bad! For priding themselves on playing fast they sure as hell never look good doing it!
UNC is putting together a good stretch here to take control of the game, but prior to that this has largely been a sloppy, careless game for both teams. Neither team spent a lot of time looking good for the first 30 minutes or so.
I don't know. Arkansas has 20 turnovers and I'm not convinced it's because of UNC's defensive pressure. I think the SEC is just not that great outside of UK.
After how UK looked most of the day against a pretty average Cincinnati team, coupled with how sloppy and unintelligent Arkansas has looked, who is supposed to be the SEC's second quality team, I'm starting to falter on my thoughts about UK.
I wish we could play D against Notre Dame the way Butler does! They aren't superstars or exceptional athletes but they play intense, physical defense. I don't think they are any more athletic than Duke. But I sure wish K could get his players to play with such physically and mentally tough defense.
People are jus now starting to see the real UK they've played a weakkkkkkk conf schedule and the best teams they played non conf are teams we beat as well! They won't win it IMO we have a great shot take care of business tomm and I think we make it there. Go Duke!
I just saw Mike Brey's post game press conference and he mentioned that he lost his mom this morning to a heart attack. Thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.
Yeah, we usually talk about gutty performances from players....but that's a gutty performance from a coach. Losing his mom earlier today? Wow. Congrats on the win to Brey and the Irish, but more importantly thoughts and prayers to the Brey family.
UK is really good. The weakness of their conference doesn't diminish what they've been able to accomplish. Anyone who has watched UK this season knows it isn't always pretty. But even still, their game vs Cincy was never really in doubt. UK is clearly the best team in the country....but they're beatable. We knew that before today.
Here's to hoping our boys bring it tomorrow and we take that next step. I'm not ready to see them be done.

That ND-Butler game was the most competitive game I've seen all year. Just tremendous heart on both sides - and add to that the fact that coach Brey lost his mom that day - wow. Prayers for him.
My predictions for Sunday; Maryland over WVA, Wichita over Kansas, Wiscy over Oregon, N.Iowa over Louisville, OK over Dayton, Mich St. over UVA, Duke over SanDiego St., Iowa over Gonzaga.
Given my success in my bracket so far, at least half of these will be wrong!
